All that poetic praise of the combat dance she was performing was lost on Guy, who was suffering the dubiously lucky outcome of her trance. Ever the Englishman, he didn't even raise his voice as he looked down to the dagger. "Lucky I'm holding my breath," he commented, even though he wasn't.

Shady laughed, and finally pulled back the dagger. "For you, maybe." She winked, tilting her head up to look at Guy. It was refreshing to have someone closer to her height, although it was a pity she couldn't really take advantage of it in any fun ways.

"And nearly killing innocent bystanders," Guy remarked amusedly.

"Only slightly," Shady said with a smile.

"How can I repay you?" She eyed Guy, raising a brow. "There must be something you want."

"I have a still," Guy said and winked at her. "Oh, the fun we could have with it."
